Salina: The Easy Romper I wished I had packedI wished I brought this romper with me while on vacation recently. The truth is I forgot it pinned to the mannequin. I also forgot the step-by-step pictures for the tutorials I was supposed to share with you 4 weeks ago. I am forever packing at the last minute and for the first time in my life I ended up with more cloths that I needed. The wrong kind unfortunately... To my surprise, I found myself wearing cloths a tad too fancy for walking miles under the blazing Tuscan sun --all because of my expanding waist line and the good food of Italy rendered the rest of my wardrobe unusable.

Oh, how I wished I had my little "mirage" with me. So comfortable, versatile and slimming (my kind of diet..). So just in case you are in my shoes, join me in this optical illusion. This easy romper is suitable for adults and teens. It has a flounce that hides the tummy and the use of a bra becomes optional.

Please print on landscape. Because I made this pattern compatible with one way stretch knits the seam allowance is 3/8". No buttons or zippers are needed. All the pieces of the top are to be placed on fold. Before you decide on what fabric to purchase, please print the pattern and take all your pieces to the shop to make sure you have enough fabric.

To print your PDF pattern

Your pattern pieces come at the end of these instructions. For accurate printing, please make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Reader. You can download the latest version here if you need to.

Select File → Print and the print dialogue box opens. Under Page Sizing and Handling, select ACTUAL SIZE . Check the preview in the right hand side illustration. Select the page numbers you want to print. You can print the whole document, or just the pattern pieces.

On the edge of the top left page is a box you can use to test your printing. This box should measure 2 inches square. If yours is wildly different you will need to check your printer options to make sure the pages are not being resized.

Use the grey guides on the overlap of the sheets to match up the pattern pieces, folding under or cutting off any overlaps, tape together and cut out your pattern pieces.

Also note that you will need to cut two straps at 4 inches by 22 inches, for which no pattern piece is supplied – it’s just a rectangle! You can draw the straps on

the reverse of your fabric to cut.

Materials

I highly recommend the use of natural fiber fabrics when possible such as challis (also known as rayon is man made but from wood cellulose fibers), soft cotton or cotton knits, cotton silk. A drape and soft look is ideal.

1.5 yards, to 3 yards of fabric depending on the size elastic depending on your waist measurements, from 23" to 53" thread to match your fabric fusible interfacing for the straps, optional
